Inkcazo eneenkcukacha
I-Ferritin yenye yeendlela eziphambili zentsimbi ezigcinwe emzimbeni.Unamandla okubopha intsimbi kunye nokugcina isinyithi ukugcina unikezelo lwentsimbi kunye nokuzinza kwe-hemoglobin emzimbeni.Umlinganiselo we-Serum ferritin sesona sibonakaliso sinovakalelo sokukhangela ukunqongophala kwentsimbi emzimbeni, esetyenziselwa ukufumanisa i-anemia yokunqongophala kwesinyithi, isifo sesibindi, njl., kwaye sesinye seziphawuli zamathumba anobungozi.
I-Ferritin yi-ferritin ekhoyo ngokubanzi ene-nanometer-ubungakanani be-hydrated iron oxide core kunye neqokobhe leprotheyini emile okwekheji.I-Ferritin yiprotheni equkethe i-20% yesinyithi.Njengomthetho, ikhona phantse kuzo zonke izicubu zomzimba, ngakumbi i-hepatocytes kunye neeseli ze-reticuloendothelial, njengeendawo zokugcina isinyithi.Umkhondo we-serum ferritin ubonisa iivenkile eziqhelekileyo zentsimbi.Umlinganiselo we-serum ferritin sisiseko esibalulekileyo sokufumanisa i-anemia yokusilela kwesinyithi.
